The Heart of Andalusia

by
A huge retable (Capilla Mayor) which depicts 36 scenes from the Old Testament and the life of Chris. This piece of art took over 40 years in the making!
A burst of color to the other ochre interior.
A gothic looking interior wall flanked by sculptures of trumpeting angels.
Beautiful arches, alternating between dark and light.
Stained glass window and detailed masonry work.
A closer look at the Capilla Mayor. There are over 30 biblical scenes depicted here. Not easy to see the details from far away!
High arches, vaulted ceilings amidst a warm yellow hue – even the interior looks gothic.
The huge organ of the cathedral. Performances are still being conducted here.
The choir room. The stalls look appropriately gothic as well.
Ornate ceiling, Spain.
